-- 1.1 - Brief Introduction
Welcome! This is a handbook which was written for applicants who wish to join the San Andreas State Troopers. Within this handbook is lots of information about the department as a whole, what we do and most importantly how YOU can be apart of it.

It also contains information which is necessary while working at our department. You must always use and understand the radio codes. We often quiz and question troopers and applicants to what certain radio codes mean. They help alot with patrolling and general management of the department. If you don't know the radio codes - we will sadly not let you into our department. It's a MUST!
